WELL DONE SOLDIER!!!Originally posted by Gedanken:OK, as for the three criteria:
1) Right
2) Wrong
3) Wrong - not only am I an only son, I'm an only son of an only son
Take it from a guy who tried his best to fail the vocational interview: if they want you, there's not a whole lot that you can do about it.
I went for my interview and this very sullen-looking sergeant asked me if I wanted to go to Commandos. I asked him if I had a choice and he said no. So, just to give him the worst attitude I could, I said, "So what the f*** are you asking me for?".
The next week, I got my letter that I was off to Changi. As it turns out, that was the attitude they were looking for. Duh!

Yeah, it's a hell of a lot of fun - all you've got to do is adjust your attitude so you enjoy it. In fact, the one big thing it teaches you is how to enjoy the moment.Originally posted by tetsumi:fun anot?
xiong until max?
As for xiong, everything's relative. It's only xiong if you think it is.
Anyone who knows me knows that I've turned the enjoyment of creature comforts into an art form - if I can enjoy life in 1 CDO, anyone can. -
Corporal Hannibal Lecter - holder of 2 (yes, count 'em 2!) CMHs!

no matter how xiong a training is, it will end, n the most ko only wat.
when come to enjoy, we can turn the whole world up-side-down.
if one is able to go through the training, nothing seems to be more xiong than that. -
Ah, I see our successors have continued the party tradition!Originally posted by lion02:when come to enjoy, we can turn the whole world up-side-down. -
yah, a more moderate one was that we throw our oc, 2ic, csm into the swimming pool during oc night, looking for the co, but i think he knows n xiam liao.Originally posted by Gedanken:Ah, I see our successors have continued the party tradition!
more hay-wire one, got the whole thailand camp on stand 2, but think not a good idea to post the story here.... -
Hehe - I can imagine that one, lion. Thailand would be THE place to do something like that!
